@Kancept interesting. my brother works for them out in vancouver, hasn’t been the best experience for him but didn’t realize it was out of the ordinary for that type of business
@Nagaram maybe somehow the seaboard was pulling more juice than i thought through the usb, but it’s only usb 2 so i doubt that’s the main reason why
@Nagaram i’m not sure — i was doing other stuff while my nephew messed around on it, so it was a few hours but not the whole afternoon!
@Unixbigot reminds me of how in adventure time, BMO gets wasted one night by by trashing some system files
@mike now there’s nothing for it but to commit to the distressed look!
@Kancept why do you hate home depot?
@Nagaram i ran through my M1 mbp battery easily last week by letting kids do logic tracking + mpe modeling with a roli seaboard in bright light at a cottage. was shocked, hadn’t thought i’d need to think about power supply!
@musicman if i saw someone wearing the symbol id be more likely to think they’re into motorcycles or skating fwiw

Changed trains last night in Chicago for the final leg of my 80-hour train trip back to NYC. The sleeper rooms in this new train are so funny/great, with a folding sink, hidden toilet, elevating bed, extra storage cubby, and about a million little knobs and switches. I feel like I’m in a 1980s spaceship.

Telegram is capable of handing over all messages in every group and regular one-to-one chat to authorities in France or any other country. A real private messaging app like Signal isn't capable of turning over your messages and media. Telegram/Discord aren't private platforms.
@levisan maybe i should spring for ones that are "USB-IF certified", like this one: https://amzn.to/3MeKfmu
not many mention this, seems like. even the adapters from anker don't seem to be certified (though some of their other stuff is)
@levisan huh. if so, wonder what adapters would fare better! the ones i got are well-reviewed, but they didnt cost a lot and arent from an established brand: https://amzn.to/3XdGfZI
back from a few days at long point on lake erie. crazy how one day it’ll have waves over your head, and the next it looks like this!
i’m told the company that owns the building has been putting up similar properties in bankruptcy sale proceedings which then get torn down in favour of condo mid-rises. would be a shame if that’s what happens here!
there was a film shoot of some kind happening — an early 20th century japanese period piece, it seems. military prison set, i think
got a tour of the millworks in dundas, ontario the other day from a friend who has studio space there. so many interesting nooks and features in there!
@levisan boy i feel like you’re younger than me but ive got no idea what this is!
